Sporting director? CEO? President?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Thomas M\u00fcller seems cut out for any or all of those roles. Probably not simultaneously, but as Erling Haaland famously once said, \u201cEh\u2026 why not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The club legend is everything Bayern Munich identifies with. He is everything FC Bayern represents. His class on and off the pitch, his relentless drive and desire, his unique personality, and his popularity among the fanbase\u2026 all of these qualities make him one of one. Even during the twilight of his footballing career, there were already talks of him returning to the club as a manager when he hung up his boots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He is a tactical mastermind, and he understands FC Bayern. He understands what the club represents and exemplifies its footballing philosophy. Bayern\u2019s star midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovi\u0107 shares the sentiment, and in an interview with Torben Hoffmann (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Sky_Torben\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Sky_Torben<\/a>) of Sky Sport Germany (as captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/2027067467646824736?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>), Pavlovi\u0107 was asked if he thinks Thomas M\u00fcller will be back to the club as his boss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He responded, \u201cI really hope he comes back. He\u2019s an absolute legend for this club. FC Bayern needs people like him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And aren\u2019t we all in unanimous agreement?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">After having experienced the likes of Oliver Kahn in Bayern\u2019s management, it sure feels like Bayern could do a lot worse than have Thomas M\u00fcller at the helm in an executive role\u2026 perhaps as club president or club CEO\u2026 he could even start as director of sport and work his way to the top. The possibilities are all out there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Of course, I personally would like to see M\u00fcller coach Bayern and am almost certain he\u2019d do a fantastic job, since we have already witnessed him coaching the team on the pitch to a high degree of success. Watching him scream at the players from the sidelines when Bayern is 5-0 up against a hapless Premier League side in the Champions League semi-final would be quite the spectacle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Either way, Thomas M\u00fcller\u2019s return feels inevitable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And FC Bayern will be even better with him in the fold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Club manager?
